Given Erdogan's nature, the 16h and 17th centuries are more to his liking. As has been said, he's an Ottoman nostalgic, a nationalist, as well as an Islamist.

Turkey as a place for academic research has been thoroughly killed now.

And to think my fiancé was going to attend a microbiology conference in Turkey next year. It's already been moved to Amsterdam.

I'd be interested to see what happens with international mutual funds currently invested in Turkish concerns. If I were a fund manager, I could see myself wanting to reduce my exposure there.

According to the news, the economy took a huge hit in the last week.

Erdogan announces 3 month state of emergency in Turkey after coup attempt
Quote:Under the emergency measure, the Turkish president and his ministers are allowed to bypass the parliament in passing new laws. Rights and freedoms in the country may also be limited or suspended if the government decides to do so, the news agency explained.
I'm shocked, really - assuming the report is true.
